PATTERNSWhat are they?

What are anti-patterns?Which patterns do you use?


WHAT ARE PATTERNS?

•Software design Recipe

•or Solution

•Should be reusable

•Should be general

•No particular language


ANTI-PATTERNS

• More patterns != better design

• No cookie cutter

• Anti Patterns : Patterns to identify failure

• God Classes

• High Coupling

• Breaking SOLID principles....

• (name some)


WHICH PATTERNS DO YOU USE?

• Fill here with your patterns:


ADVANCED PATTERNSLet’s vote!


SOME PATTERNS...

• Chain of resp.

• Proxy

• ActiveRecord

• Repository

• Event Aggregator

• Event Sourcing

• List Comprehension

•Object Mother

• Visitor

•Null Object

• Factory

• Strategy

•DTO

• Page Object


CHAIN OF RESPONSIBILITY

•More than one object may handle a request, and the handler isn't known a priori.

• The handler should be ascertained automatically.

• You want to issue request to one of several objects without specifying The receiver explicitly.

• The set of objects that can handle a request should be specified dynamically


PROXY

• Avoid creating the object until needed

• Provides a placeholder for additional functionality

• Very useful for mocking

•Many implementations exist (IoC, Dynamic proxies, etc)


ACTIVERECORD

• Is a Domain Model where classes match very closely the database structure

• Each table is mapped to class with methods for finding, update, delete, etc.

• Each attribute is mapped to a column

• Associations are deduced from the classes


create_table "movies", :force => true do |t| t.string "title" t.string "description" t.datetime "created_at" t.datetime "updated_at" end

create_table "reviews", :force => true do |t| t.string "name" t.integer "stars" t.text "comment" t.integer "movie_id" t.datetime "created_at" t.datetime "updated_at" end

class Movie < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :title, :description has_many :reviewsend

class Review < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :movieend


REPOSITORY

•Mediator between domain and storage

• Acts like a collection of items

• Supports queries

• Abstraction of the storage


http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/repository.html


EVENT AGGREGATOR

•Manage events using a subscribe / publish mechanism

• Isolates subscribers from publishers

•Decouple events from actual models

• Events can be distributed

• Centralize event registration logic

•No need to track multiple objects


Channel events from multiple o b j e c t s i n t o a single object to s i m p l i f y registration for clients


MT COMMONS


EVENT SOURCING

• Register all changes in the application using events

• Event should be persisted

• Complete Rebuild

• Temporal Query

• Event Replay


http://martinfowler.com/eaaDev/EventSourcing.html


LIST COMPREHENSION

• Syntax Construct in languages

•Describe properties for the list (sequence)

• Filter

•Mapping

• Same idea for Set or Dictionary comprehension


• Scalafor (x <- Stream.from(0); if x*x > 3) yield 2*x

• LINQ var range = Enumerable.Range(0..20);from num in range where num * num > 3 select num * 2;

• Clojure(take 20 (for [x (iterate inc 0) :when (> (* x x) 3)] (* 2 x)))

• Ruby(1..20).select { |x| x * x > 3 }.map { |x| x * 2 }

LANGUAGE COMPARISON


OBJECT MOTHER / BUILDER

• Creates an object for testing (or other) purposes

• Assumes defaults

• Easy to configure

• Fluid interface

• Usually has methods to to easily manipulate the domain


public class When_adding_a_an_invalid_extra_frame{ [Test] public void Should_throw_an_exception() { // arrange 10.Times(() => this.GameBuilder.AddFrame(5, 4));

var game = this.GameBuilder.Build();

// act & assert new Action(() => game.Roll(8)).Should().Throw(); }}

VISITOR

• Ability to traverse (visit) a object structure

•Different visitors may produce different results

• Avoid littering the classes with particular operations


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visitor_pattern#Diagram


NULL OBJECT

• Represent “null” with an actual instance

• Provides default functionality

• Clear semantics of “null” for that domain


class animal {public: virtual void make_sound() = 0;}; class dog : public animal { void make_sound() { cout << "woof!" << endl; }}; class null_animal : public animal { void make_sound() { }};

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null_Object_pattern


FACTORY

• Creates instances by request

•More flexible than Singleton

• Can be configured to create different families of objects

• IoC containers are closely related

• Can be implemented dynamic based on interfaces

• Can be used also to release “resource” when not needed


interface GUIFactory { public Button createButton();} class WinFactory implements GUIFactory { public Button createButton() { return new WinButton(); }}class OSXFactory implements GUIFactory { public Button createButton() { return new OSXButton(); }} interface Button { public void paint();}

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_factory_pattern


STRATEGY

• Abstracts the algorithm to solve a particular problem

• Can be configured dynamically

• Are interchangeable


http://orthocoders.com/2010/04/


DATA TRANSFER OBJECT

• Simplifies information transfer across services

• Can be optimized

• Easy to understand


http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/dataTransferObject.html


PAGE OBJECT

• Abstract web pages functionality to be used usually in testing

• Each page can be reused

• Changes in the page impact only the implementation, not the clients


public class LoginPage { public HomePage loginAs(String username, String password) { // ... clever magic happens here } public LoginPage loginWithError(String username, String password) { // ... failed login here, maybe because // one or both of the username and password are wrong } public String getErrorMessage() { // So we can verify that the correct error is shown }}
